Felix Cycle Chic

The Boy Wonder and I heading to weekly football practice. Often we both ride our bikes, but now A. He just started a new, exhausting life in school and is more cream-crackered [knackered] than usual and B. Daddy's got a new Long John from Velorbis with a box the Boy Wonder helped build.

So he relaxes with a book [The Billy Goats' Gruff]as we zip along to Frederiksberg Boldklub where Daddy morphs into a merciless Coach for 11 bundles of boy energy. Football shirts are hardly chic anywhere on the planet except for at a football stadium, but when it's your own six year old, he's adorable.

The other day Boy Wonder and I went to buy some wood to make a new desk for his bedroom. Long John came along.The Long John with the new cargo box with the kids' names on the sides.

I actually saw a real, live Long John with a wooden cargo box full of kids here in Fort Collins, Colorado the other day. Unfortunately, it was a one-off sale on eBay, not somebody selling them regularly. But they sure look useful, even more than an Xtracycle.
